He really wants to go with someone in a Phoenix but I’ve told him you can’t pick a guide based on a boat alone. HA HA! He is ate up with bass fishing and buys way more expensive gear than I do.

I told him he was dyslexic so it was 8..7!! Well, 5 minutes later, he caught 8.2 & definitely not 2.8# & not dyslexic!! If Darold is busy, call Dave Truax who i use also. Darold Gleason - very good, highly recommend (337) 397-8860 cell Dave Truax - very good, highly recommend; 409-791-2453 cell (ONLY - cell phone & text messages; NO internet)
